Strap Specs & Hardware
5How are the end fittings secured to the webbing?
We use high-pressure die-casting to fuse the metal end fittings securely to the polyester webbing, or we can provide stitched and heat-sealed edges for lifting slings.
Do you manufacture marine-grade straps with 316 Stainless Steel?
Yes, we have a specialized Marine Grade line that features 316 Stainless Steel hardware (buckles, hooks, mandrels) to resist saltwater corrosion and ensure longevity.
What is the difference between a flat hook and a J-hook?
A flat hook is designed for use in T-tracks or through load bars, while a J-hook (or S-hook) is used for hooking onto the edge of a trailer bed or anchor point.
What materials are used for the buckles and hooks?
Our standard buckles and hooks are made from heat-treated carbon steel with a durable zinc plating to resist corrosion and handle high tension loads.
What material is used for TrustWebbing's ratchet strap webbing?
We use high-tensile 1000 Denier Polyester webbing, which provides exceptional strength, low stretch, and superior resistance to UV rays and abrasion.
Working Load Limit (WLL)
5How do I determine the correct strap WLL for my specific cargo?
You should calculate the total weight of the cargo, apply a safety factor, and account for the angle of the straps. A cargo control engineer can assist with complex loads.
Does the load capacity change when using a basket hitch?
Yes. When using a basket hitch configuration, the capacity of each strap is reduced by approximately 20% compared to a vertical hitch.
What is the maximum WLL available for your heavy-duty straps?
We can manufacture straps with a WLL ranging from 1,600 lbs up to over 10,000 lbs, utilizing multiple widths of webbing and reinforced hardware.
What safety factor does TrustWebbing apply to its ratchet straps?
Our cargo control straps generally adhere to a 3:1 safety factor, meaning the break strength is at least three times higher than the labeled Working Load Limit.
What is the difference between Working Load Limit (WLL) and Break Strength?
Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum safe force that can be applied during normal use. Break strength is the force required to physically snap the strap.
Webbing Materials & Weaving
5Can I get a custom woven pattern or logo on the webbing?
Yes, we can manufacture 'Jacquard' webbing with custom logos or specific woven patterns to meet your branding or aesthetic requirements.
Is the webbing resistant to chemical and oil exposure?
Polyester webbing has excellent resistance to common industrial chemicals and oils. It also resists rot and decay, making it suitable for demanding environments.
How does the weaving process affect the strap's strength?
We use high-density weaving machines to ensure uniform tension across the webbing. Tight weaving prevents internal fiber friction and maximizes the load-bearing capacity.
What is the difference between polyester and nylon webbing?
Polyester has low stretch, making it better for holding tight loads. Nylon has high stretch, which absorbs shock better but can loosen under vibration.
Why do you use 1000 Denier Polyester instead of other materials?
1000 Denier Polyester offers the ideal balance of high tensile strength, minimal stretch, and excellent UV resistance, which is critical for long-term outdoor cargo control.
